I mean its not really news but to see in the bracket that everone seeded in the last two rounds are koreans or have played in korea , thats just impressive. (Other than Alicia of course.) But to win every BO3 just shows statisticly that there is not just a little gap anymore. Only takes tiny amounts of win games. As you said Alicia is out, Choya is also out, MMA lost a game to drewbie and actually didn't look super strong. Without a doubt koreans are doing very well, but actually I have thought it has been closer in areas. Kiwi took a game from MVP, select took one from GanZi. Rain went 2-1 against ret and slush. Huk got one from DRG lastly cruncher and sheth both took one from boxer. While the koreans still won all those matches, taking 1 game in a best of 3 is actually some-way off a walk over that everyone assumes by the pure win result. As styles develop and people get use to a slightly more korean style of play I wouldn't mind betting there might be a few more big upsets of the korean powerhouses. Maybe next years MLG's will look different, if anything I would say the gap is closing. | ||

You heard it here first. Farfetched? Maybe. But I'd love to see the two old boys slugging it out on the mainstage surrounded by these young whelps. | ||

Maybe next years MLG's will look different, if anything I would say the gap is closing. Did you watch Sc2 during Beta/Early GSL seasons? The gap used to be pretty close but since the Koreans really professionalised Starcraft 2 the gap has gotten much bigger. It's worth noting as well that this the best absolute best foreigners in the world with the odd notable exception like Thorzain, Morrow and a few ladder monsters like Nerchio, Happy and Kas. While the Korean contingent is nothing like the best Koreans out there and the Koreans are outnumbered by at least 10 and 4 to 1 in Pool Play. If a tournament were truly equal and featured the top 16 foreigners and top 16 Koreans there is virtually no chance of a non-Korean winning and if they did it would almost certainly be Huk, a guy playing in Korea in a Korean pro gaming house. Imagine if Korea sent: Nestea, MC, MVP, Bomber, July, Losira, MMA, DRG, Puma, SC, MarineKing, Nada, Alicia, TOP, Byun, Ryung, Ganzi and Puzzle to one event, because that's what the foreigners do. | ||
